Kurt: Lots of choices, not many of them good, yano. 1 So LPI has taken over the market pretty nearly 100%, but it won't "tent" reliably, because it is not very viscous when applied and drops into the hole. So then, tenting/plugging with LPI is bad

If, after all the good advice already given, the engineer insists on following his wacky design, you may still be able to influence some success. First you have the fab house plug the via holes with solder then you make sure that the bottom side of

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the help. John | Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. | | Q #2) When speaking of annular

Hi All I have a 0.7 mm diameter hole for vias, what�s the minimum annular ring for this hole diameter? Ans: Fur inner layers Min = .006" hole-pad annular ring ; inner pad dia - hole dia/2 For outer layers Min = .005" hole-pad annular ring ; outer p

I have had some field failures returned recently, the boards had flux contamination under the components in a sensitive area, Nothing really visible until the component was removed, and the board had no evidence of rework of any type. Is it possib

We've think that with seen solder shorts under BGAs after wave soldering the boards. In addition, it seems to be related to a certain soldermask configuration over the topside BGA vias.. THere is one vendor,A, that is applying soldermask after HASL,

Armin: How ya doin� bud? CK gives good advice, but I'd like to take a bit of a different angle. Q1. For 0.7 mm (0.027in) diameter hole for vias, what�s the minimum annular ring for this hole diameter? Depends on what you�re trying to do. For in

Hi Armynski, I sell for an offshore board house, yes, it is common for offshore board shops to fill vias. The bubble is caused by air entrampment within the hole it self, when heat is applied during Hot air and the via is covered on both sides the e

Regardless of the technique used for the mounting pad shape or definition, isolation of the plated through hole [PTH] from the mounting pad is important. If the PTH is contained within the mounting pad, solder will wick down the PTH. The amount of
